Hi there I am looking to a buy a second car (hatchback) and I am looking at a number of options. My budget is between $5k - $8k. Must have done probably around 50000km - 100000km on the clock and look at cars no older than 2008/9.
I have identified a couple of options:

2009 Toyota Vitz - 5 Door CVT, 1296 cc done around 60000km
2011 Toyota Yaris T130 - 3 door, auto,1298 cc done around 67000km
2008 Toyota Ractis 1500cc, 5 door , auto done 92000km

I have only gone for Toyota because they are reliable but would welcome any other models you can recommend. Generally we are looking at using as a run around.

Cheers
Dallas

Hi Dallas,
These are a popular options in the small car segment, the Suzuki Swift is also a good one for this category, as is the Mazda Demio.
I have no reservations in recommending these cars, as always it is good to have an inspection carried out to ensure the overall vehicle condition is to your liking.
